Detective Conan Theme and Insert Songs (21–30)
In thousands of labyrinths, solving thousands of mysteriesBREAKERZ
This is the 17th single by BREAKERZ, featuring vocalist DAIGO’s striking character.
With this song marking their seventh tie-in with Detective Conan, they’ve become an indispensable artist for the series.
The lyrics, which revolve around solving mysteries, also convey that the track was created with Conan in mind.
Time after time ~In the City Where Flowers Dance~Kuraki Mai
The theme song of the film Crossroad in the Ancient Capital, one of the most popular among fans.
With its distinctly Japanese-style arrangement, the song fits the movie perfectly.
Also, since Mai Kuraki graduated from Ritsumeikan University in Kyoto, the song was inspired by her student days and the scattering cherry blossoms she saw there.
Detective Conan Theme and Insert Songs (31–40)
Don’t Wanna LieB’z
A B’z song that passionately proclaims the strong resolve to never lie to oneself at life’s pivotal moments.
Released in June 2011 as their 49th single, it was used as the opening theme for the anime Detective Conan and as the theme song for the film Detective Conan: Quarter of Silence.
Koshi Inaba’s heartfelt lyrics and Tak Matsumoto’s dramatic melody—crafted to resonate on both television and in the theater—perfectly align with the protagonist’s pursuit of truth.
The track is also included on the album C’mon and the best-of compilation B’z The Best XXV 1999–2012.
When you’re wavering before a major decision and want to stay true to your convictions, this song will give you a powerful push forward.
Unraveling Love ~A Little Courage~Kuraki Mai
This is a track by Mai Kuraki where a cool city-pop sound fuses with rock’s intensity.
Released in October 2023, it was selected as the opening theme for the TV anime Detective Conan, marking her 26th tie-in with the series.
It captures a frustrating love that seems mutual yet feels one-sided, vividly portraying the earnest desire to define that ambiguous relationship.
The rapid-fire chorus, delivered in a rush, feels just like a racing heartbeat.
Also included on the 2024 EP “forever for YOU,” this song gently gives a push to anyone who wants to close the distance with someone they like but can’t quite take that final step.
Proof of Eternal AbsenceToukyou Jihen
It’s a thrilling rock number written specifically as the theme song for the theatrical film Detective Conan: The Scarlet Bullet.
Shiina Ringo’s dark worldview and Tokyo Jihen’s superb band sound blend seamlessly, instantly pulling listeners into the story.
The lyrics portray the resolve of someone who, bearing a truth that must never be revealed, throws themselves into a solitary battle—perfectly mirroring the tense atmosphere of the film.
The track was included on the EP News, released in April 2020.
It’s the kind of song that can give you a push when you want to sink into a mysterious mood or steel yourself for a major decision.
Shooting starWANDS
WANDS’s new song has a sparkle that feels like a shooting star.
The lyrics, as if making a wish upon the night sky, really resonate.
I heard it’s been used as the ending theme for Detective Conan since January 2025, and it seems like a great match for the anime’s world.
This track might be perfect to listen to while gazing at the stars.
How about looking up at the sky with someone special and picturing the wishes in your heart? It’s sure to become a wonderful memory.
Bright red lipsWANDS
This is the song “Makkana Lip,” which has been used as the opening theme for the popular elementary school–favorite anime Detective Conan since January 2020.
The track is by WANDS, who restarted with a new vocalist.
In the song that plays behind the opening visuals, Conan dances, which became a hot topic.
It’s said to be his first time dancing in 20 years since he did para para back in 2000! It’s a cool, upbeat track that makes you want to dance along with Conan!
